DVD Synopsis

Richard Linklater's third feature -- set, like his other works, over the course of one 24-hour period -- Before Sunrise is a sweet, intelligent romantic comedy filmed primarily in Austria. It stars Ethan Hawke as Jesse, a young American travelling through Europe. On a train he meets Celine, a French student portrayed by Julie Delpy. Together they leave the train to begin exploring the city of Vienna, walking and talking into the wee hours of the night and slowly falling in love as the minutes before Jesse's return to the U.S. tick away. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Richard Linklater's charming romance Before Sunrise comes to DVD with two different images. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and captures the beautiful European setting much better than the full-frame standard 1.33:1 image. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. Supplemental materials are limited to a theatrical trailer. This beautifully photographed, all-talk film gets a DVD release that brings out the strengths of both the images and the dialogue. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
